Radio Tuning

RADIO TUNING

If you know the frequency of the radio

station you are seeking, or you need to select

a radio station that is too weak to be found

by automatic tuning, use manual tuning, as

follows:

Select the desired waveband (FM or AM),

then press the ’MAN’ button (6). By briefly

pressing either tuning button (5), the

frequency changes (either up or down) in

steps of 0.1 MHz for FM, or 1 kHz for AM.

Fast manual tuning

By keeping either manual tuning button

depressed, the waveband is scanned rapidly

(up or down) until the button is released.

Automatic tuning

Select the required waveband (FM or AM),

then briefly press one of the tuning buttons

(5) - (’SEEK’ along with the chosen

waveband appear in the display).

The radio automatically searches the

frequency range (either up or down

depending upon which button is pressed)

looking for a station of acceptable strength.

The search then stops unless you choose to

continue by pressing the tuning button

again.

The search can be stopped at any time by

pressing any pre-set button.

Weather band

Press the AM button (4) up to three times

until ’WB’ appears in the display. The radio

will automatically search for the strongest

national weather station signal in the area.

If the radio is unable to find a sufficiently

strong weather information signal, it will

continue to search (’NO WB’ appears in the

display) until a strong enough signal is

found. To leave WB mode and return to

radio/cassette or CD play, press the

appropriate AM, FM, TAPE or CD mode

button.

4 8

ICE0118

Waveband scan

Select the desired waveband (FM or AM) and

press the SCAN button (8). The radio scans

through the waveband, seeking stations of

acceptable strength (the waveband,

frequency and ’SC’ are displayed). The radio

stops at each one it finds and plays that

station for 5 seconds, the radio then mutes

and scans for the next station.

To stop the scan, press the button again -

the radio commences playing the station at

which the scan was stopped.

NOTE: If you have a car telephone with a

mute signal output connected to the radio,

the radio automatically mutes when the

telephone is in use.

MONO/STEREO

Whenever the FM waveband is selected, the

radio automatically reproduces stereo sound,

provided a suitable signal is available.

However, if a signal becomes too weak for

good stereo reception, only mono sound is

produced until the signal strengthens

sufficiently for stereo sound reproduction.

Radio Pre-sets

ICE0104

RADIO PRE-SET BUTTONS

The six pre-set buttons (7) can be used to

manually store up to twelve FM stations (six

each on FM1 and FM2) and twelve AM

stations (six each on AM1 and AM2). The

pre-sets are programmed as follows:

Programming the pre-sets

•

Select the required waveband (FM1, FM2,

AM1 or AM2).

•

Tune to the desired frequency using

either automatic or manual tuning.

•

Press and hold one of the pre-set buttons

until a bleep sounds. The frequency is

now stored (the display shows the

waveband and frequency or name of the

station to which you have tuned).

NOTE: Once the pre-sets have been

programmed, they will be retained by the

unit until they are re-programmed or until the

battery is disconnected.

Operating the pre-sets

Once the pre-set buttons have been

programmed, operation is simple; select the

desired waveband, then press the pre-set

button of your choice.

Auto-store

ICE0104

AUTO-STORE

Auto-store enables you to rapidly tune and

store the strongest FM and AM radio signals

in a single operation. This facility is

particularly useful if you are in an unfamiliar

area and have little knowledge of local

transmitter frequencies.

Programming auto-store

Press and hold the appropriate waveband

selection button (3 or 4) until a bleep sounds

(the radio mutes and the display shows

either ’FM AUTOSTORE’ or ’AM

AUTOSTORE’).

Auto-store scans the waveband to find the

six strongest frequencies and then stores

them on either the FM2 or AM2 pre-set

buttons in order of signal strength.

NOTE: Auto-store overwrites any stations

already stored on the FM2 or AM2 pre-set

buttons.

Radio play resumes when the operation is

complete.

NOTE: If auto-store is unable to find six

strong stations, the remaining pre-set

buttons remain blank.

Operating auto-store

To tune to one of the auto-store frequencies,

select FM2 or AM2, then press the pre-set

button of your choice; the frequency or radio

station name appears on the display.

Radio Data System

RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS)

This radio is equipped with RDS (Radio Data

System). RDS operates on the FM waveband

and enables the radio to receive other

information in addition to radio signals,

including:

•

the programme service name (this

enables the set to display the radio

station name instead of the frequency).

•

programme type selection (allows choice

of listening by one of 15 programme

types rather than by radio station name).

•

an alarm announcement system (this

enables the set to give priority to

emergency information; eg. a very

serious accident or natural disaster). All

other audio functions wil be overridden

(’ALERT’ appears in the display).

Receiving RDS stations

The radio is automatically in the RDS mode

whenever the FM waveband is selected.

Whenever an RDS radio station is received,

the radio station name illuminates in the

display.

NOTE: This facility can be deactivated or

reactivated by your dealer.

NOTE: Not all FM radio stations broadcast

RDS. If a non-RDS station is received the

RDS features described previously will not be

available.

Local radio stations

Reception of most local radio stations is

intentionally limited to a comparatively small

area around the transmitter.

Programme Type

ICE0117

PROGRAMME TYPE (PTY)

PTY is a service whereby RDS compatible

radio stations are able to transmit a signal

which identifies the programme content.

Your radio is able to receive and decipher

this signal, thereby enabling you to select a

programme category, which will then be

given priority over other broadcasts.

For example, if you want to listen to classical

music, select the ’CLASSICAL’ category and

the set will automatically search for and

broadcast a station transmitting the

’CLASSICAL’ PTY code.

Operating PTY

Select your chosen PTY category as follows:

•

Press the Programme type button (9); the

current PTY category will appear in the

display (eg. ’COUNTRY’).

•

To change the category, scroll up or

down through the list of 22 options using

the tuning buttons (5).

•

Press the Programme type button again -

the radio will search through the

waveband for a station broadcasting the

selected PTY code.

In some circumstances (depending on the

time of day, popularity of programme choice,

etc), the set may not be able to immediately

locate a radio station broadcasting the

chosen PTY code - the display will show ’NO

PTY’ and return to the original station.

The 22 categories available for selection are

as follows.

1. ’NEWS’

2. ’INFORM’

3. ’SPORTS’

4. ’TALK’

5. ’ROCK’

6. ’CLASSIC ROCK’

7. ’ADULT HIT’

8. ’SOFT ROCK’

9. ’TOP 40’

10. ’COUNTRY’

11. ’OLDIES’

12. ’SOFT’

13. ’NOSTALGIA’

14. ’JAZZ’

15. ’CLASSICAL’

16. ’R & B’

17. SOFT R&B’

18. ’LANGUAGE’

19. ’REL MUSIC’ - (religious music)

20. ’REL TALK’ - (religious talk)

21. ’PERSONALITY’

22. ’PUBLIC’

Radio Reception

Distortion, interference and lack of signal

clarity, are often attributed to a fault in the

radio - this is rarely the case.

Problems of this kind are usually caused by

phenomena such as atmospheric conditions,

signal strength, hilly terrain, tall buildings,

bridges and even electrical interference from

power lines.

Please remember: A car radio receives

signals while the vehicle is in motion (unlike

a domestic set) - constantly changing

direction and moving away from, or nearer

to, the transmitter whilst negotiating terrain

with widely differing reception

characteristics. Some interference is to be

expected from time to time.

FM transmitters can only broadcast over a

limited range and good, clear signals will

only be received in the immediate area of the

transmitter. When travelling, it may be

necessary to re-tune the radio from time to

time, to offset the effects of moving from

one transmitter area to another.

The broadcast range for good stereo

reception (usually within a 30 to 40 mile

radius of the transmitter) is noticeably less

than it is for mono.

FM Signals (like light waves) travel in a

straight line, so large obstacles, such as tall

buildings, can shield the car from the signal

causing distortion or loss of reception

(known as dead spots).

Distortion can also occur if FM signals

received directly from the transmitter mix

with signals which have been reflected by

obstructions such as mountains, hills and tall

buildings (this is known as multi-path

distortion).

ICE 0052

Care of Cassette Player and Tapes

ICE 0054

Use only good quality tapes with a maximum

capacity of ninety minutes (C90). Check that

both spools rotate freely and remove any

loose turns at the start of the tape by winding

one spool with a pen or pencil.

Cassette player

In use, the tape head accumulates dust and

contamination, gradually impairing sound

reproduction and, in extreme cases, reducing

volume too. To combat contamination, clean

the tape head periodically (after

approximately every 20 hours playing time)

by passing a wet type cleaning cassette

through the player.

NOTE: Because your cassette player is fitted

with auto reverse, the cleaning cassette must

be played in both directions.

The tape will require more frequent cleaning

in winter, as contamination is greater in

conditions of low temperature and increased

humidity. However, the use of good quality

tapes, keeps the build up to a minimum.

Cassette tapes

•

Always store cassettes in their boxes

when not in use.

•

Never leave cassettes in the vehicle

during extremes of temperature. In

particular, do not leave tapes in direct

sunlight as they may warp and become

unuseable, or jam the tape player

mechanism.

•

Fast forward, or rewind tapes every 8 to

10 plays to prevent them from becoming

too tightly wound.

•

Ensure that labels attached to the cassette

are glued firmly in place.

•

DO NOT leave tapes in the cassette player

for more than a few hours in very cold or

humid conditions - the oxides on the tape

surface may contaminate the cassette

player mechanism.

NOTE: After continuous playing, cassettes

may become hot to touch. This is normal

and will not harm good quality tape.

CD Autochanger & Discs

ICE0096

2 3

COMPACT DISC CHANGER UNIT (if fitted)

The CD autochanger is located on the left

hand side of the luggage compartment.

Removing/inserting the magazine

Fully open the sliding cover (1) to insert or

remove the magazine. Keep the cover closed

at all other times to prevent dust and dirt

from entering the changer unit.

Press the button (2) to eject the magazine.

Insert the magazine (3) in the direction of the

arrow marked on the magazine casing and

push it fully into the changer. Finally, close

the sliding cover.

ICE0097

Loading & unloading the magazine

Holding the magazine as shown (arrow

uppermost), remove each CD tray in turn.

Place a disc (label side uppermost) onto

each tray - holding ONLY the outside edge

and centre hole of the disc. Load only one

disc in each tray. Correctly align the tray with

the parallel slots on each side of the

magazine and slide the tray into the

magazine.

To unload the magazine, hold the magazine

with the arrow uppermost, pull out each tray

in turn, holding the tray securely so as not to

drop the disc. Unload one disc at a time and

handle only the edge and centre of the disc.

ICE0043

Caring for Compact Discs

IMPORTANT

•

Use standard 12cm CDs only.

•

DO NOT use irregularly shaped or

damaged CDs - these may damage

the compact disc changer.

•

8cm CD singles must NOT be used,

even if a CD adaptor is fitted.

•

The CD autochanger should not be

used in temperatures outside the

range -10

Cto+60

•

In th unlikely event that the CD

autochanger overheats, ’CD OVER

TEMP’ will be displayed - change to

radio or tape mode until the unit has

cooled.

•

The CD autochanger should only be

used as described - any other

application or method of use could

result in the user being exposed to

invisible laser radiation exceeding the

limit of laser class 1.

NOTE: Additional magazines can be

obtained from a Land Rover dealer.

CARING FOR COMPACT DISCS

Dirt, dust, condensation and heat can

damage discs. Always observe the following

precautions:

NEVER touch the horizontal playing surface

(the unlabelled side) of a disc! Handle discs

by holding the outer edges, or the edge of

the central hole and the outer edge, between

finger and thumb.

ALWAYS return discs to their boxes after use

(dirt detracts from the sound quality).

NEVER leave the disc or the box exposed to

excessive heat or direct sunlight!

NEVER use a solvent or abrasive cleaner!

Dust or dirt should be removed from the

playing surface by wiping with a clean, dry,

lint-free cloth always wipe in a straight line

from the centre to the edge of the disc!

Security Code

SECURITY CODE INFORMATION

NOTE: Your vehicle was delivered with the

security code disabled, if you wish to have

the code activated, consult your Land Rover

dealer.

To reduce the risk of theft, Range Rover

radio/cassette and CD players are

programmed with a four digit security code.

Once activated, this code prevents the unit

from functioning if it is illegally removed

from the vehicle. There are 10,000 different

codes - making your radio equipment

valueless to a thief unless he has the correct

one. In addition, each unit is further

protected by a time delay penalty system that

effectively defies even the most systematic

attempt to break the code.

NOTE: If an incorrect code is entered, a one

minute time delay is imposed before a

second code can be attempted. Each time a

wrong code is entered, the time delay

doubles (2 min, 4 min, 8 min, etc.) making

theft a very unattractive proposition.

The vehicle was supplied with a Security

Information card. This card contains a record

of the four digit security code, as well as the

unit’s unique serial number. The serial

number is also stamped into the metal side

of the unit and, in the event of theft, would

confirm proof of ownership.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you keep a safe

record of the security code and heed the

following advice:

•

NEVER keep a record of the security code

in the vehicle.

•

PLEASE stick the security warning

stickers where the potential thief is sure

to see them, but where they do not

impede your vision of traffic and

pedestrians.

•

If you lose your code number, contact the

nearest Land Rover dealer, who will be

able to obtain this information for you.

Security Code

ICE0106

ENTERING THE SECURITY CODE

If the code has not already been entered, or

power to the set has been interrupted, the

code MUST be entered before the set will

operate. Enter the code as follows:

•

Switch on the radio (’CODE’ appears in

the display). Press pre-set button 1.

•

Press either the up or down tuning button

(highlighted in illustration) until the first

digit of the security code appears in the

display. Press pre-set 1 to store the first

digit in the unit’s memory.

•

Use either tuning button to select the

second digit of the code (correct digit

appears in the display). Press pre-set 1 to

store the second digit.

•

Select the third digit, again using the

tuning buttons (until the correct digit is

displayed). Press pre-set 1 to store the

third digit.

•

Select the final digit (the display now

shows the full four digit code). Press

pre-set 1 to store the final digit.

If the correct code has been selected, a

two-tone bleep sounds and the radio will

operate.

NOTE: If an incorrect code has been entered,

the first time delay period commences.

During the delay period, ’WAIT’ appears in

the display - DO NOT switch off. At the end

of the delay period, ’CODE’ reappears in the

display and you can then enter the correct

code. Remember; the time delay period

doubles each time an incorrect code is

entered.
